**HAPPY TO SHIP SMALLER ITEMS - PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BUYING**
This week’s sale is from the estate of Joe Hughes, nationally recognized folk artist, basket weaver, archeologist and fifth generation Delaware farmer. He lived with his family in a home built by the Coombs, a Quaker family, in 1778. That year the American Revolution was in its third year, King Louie XVI ruled France, both Bach and Mozart were alive and Captain Cook was busy exploring the Pacific Northwest. This is the setting within which Mr. Hughes lived and as such, much of the furnishings being offered compliment the age and style of the home - as well as his many and varied interests.
Below lists a sampling of what's being offered at this sale. DISCLAIMER - I did my best to identify and organize these treasures, but this sale is a formidable beast and could not be fully tamed. As a consequence, things aren't as nicely bundled as I'd like. So you'll have to scroll through the lot to ensure that you've seen everything. I promise, it'll be worth it.

BOOKS
Mr. Hughes was a voracious reader. His collection includes soft and hardback books covering a wide spectrum of topics, including true crime, bee keeping, architecture, health and wellness, cooking, history and a large inventory of children’s books. However, you’ll find that the yeoman’s share is non-fiction military, with a majority focused on the Civil War and WWII, though other conflicts are represented. And of course, there are fabulous books on basket weaving, wood carving and archeology. They're grouped accordingly, with any first editions and/or signed books identified.
Note: These books are in varying degrees of condition, and may have writing, foxing or spine/cover damage and decades of dust.
